Ashita-no-Mori Guest House


We loved staying at Ashita-no-Mori あしたの森 Guest House right in front of Kawayu 川湯 onsen hot spring "Sen-nin-buro" 仙人風呂, one of only three such popular hot springs, actually etched from a natural river, in Japan!

The guest house's specialty of a Kumano beef dinner was absolutely delicious and our family loved the wooded guest room we stayed in, despite its petite size.


Our view from our room looked out over the river which was quite picturesque: steam rising like twisting dragons from Oto river and morning frost limning the edges of solid objects epitomized the rustic oriental image of ancient Japan! (see link for area pictures)

Breakfast was great, too!
